Dr. Jean Devroye has studied follicular hair transplantation with the leaders in the USA and now provides ultra refined follicular unit hair transplantation in Europe.

Dr. Jean Devroye is passionately and exclusively dedicated to performing ultra refined follicular unit hair transplantation and is one of a handful of leading physicians providing this advanced technique in Europe. Dr. Devroye considers hair transplantation to be an art, with each case being unique. He is considered by his colleagues to be one of the most outstanding hair transplant surgeons in Europe. He speaks fluent English in addition to French.

Dr. Devroye is a graduate of the University of Liege in Belgium and a Doctor of Medicine, Surgery and Obstetrics. Since 2000, Dr Devroye has specialised exclusively in hair restoration. In 1999 Dr. Devroye moved to the United States and dedicated himself to mastering follicular unit hair transplant surgery. During this time he studied extensively with some of the leading hair transplant surgeons in North America.

After gaining both theoretical knowledge and experience with ultra refined follicular unit hair transplantation, Dr Devroye decided to provide these advanced techniques to patients in Europe. He now performs his highly refined hair transplant surgery, using both FUE and strip removal, in Brussels. He also consults in Brussels, London, Paris, Madrid and Barcelona.

As a true innovator, Dr. Devroye focuses on improving instrumentation for hair transplantation.
For the last six years, he has even developed his own motorized system and his own tool for extracting follicular grafts via FUE follicular unit excision (formerly known as follicular unit extraction). Dr. Devroye is well recognized by his peers for research on the quality of grafts growth. He is also in charge of a global study on the growth of transected hair in donor area for the FUE Research Committee. Dr. Devroye and his staff create and trim ultra refined grafts under microscopes via FUT/strip surgery.

Dr. DeVroye uses tiny custom cut blades to create incisions that are as small as 0.6mm. This enables him and his staff to provide appropriate patients with high density results and quick healing. Dr. DeVroye's large and experienced staff also enables the clinic to perform large, densey packed sessions exceeding 3000 follicular unit grafts when appropriate for the patient.

Dr. Devroye attends the conferences organized by the ESHRS (European Society of Hair Restoration Surgery) as a board member. He was the Chairman of the ESHRS Congress, which took place in Brussels in June 2005. In addition, he also attends all the meeting organized by the ISHRS (International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery).

I started losing hair quite at an early age, when I was sixteen. At the beginning I was not particularly worried, because there was not, to my knowledge, a baldness pattern in my family.After some time, I started to realise that the hair loss...

I first became aware of the hairloss at the age of 23. The realisation was a massive blow to my confidence and happiness, especially as it was the last thing I expected. All my family had excellent hair coverage well into their 30s, 40s and 50s....

I had surgery with Dr. Devroye in March 2009. The transplant was done with 2017 grafts. I feel that the surgery went really well. Dr. Devroye and his team made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire surgery.

"If your looking for a transplant, or better yet, to fix a bad transplant go see Dr. Devroye. I could not be more pleased!!!!!"

The stitches added during hair transplantation in the donor area must be removed no earlier than 14 days after surgery. If there were no complications following hair restoration surgery (irritation, infection), the stitches can be removed 15 to 18 days after the procedure.

Dr. Jean Devroye discusses how he meets a patient's hair transplant expectations and the importance of the initial hair restoration consultation.

Below is a transcript of the hair transplant video for your reference.

"Hair transplant surgery is a very interesting subject. In Europe, we have more and more good surgeons. But sometimes surgeons go wrong and make more than one consultation. So when I asked them when they come to a consultation, what was the reason for this choice, they say, they feel I'm honest and I'm serious. So perhaps it's for this reason they come to me. Regarding the consultation, it's a long consultation, and I try to be very open and listen to them, not only to say what I have to say, but to understand what they want, to understand the expectation. And after, to propose a solution, not only one, but I try to give them different possibilities. So I think the consultation is very, very important. And for th day of the surgery, I try to - it's very important for the patient to understand that he will not have a lot of surgery during his life...it will be one or two days and he doesn't have to have any regrets. We are not in a hurry. It's a long time. We don't waste time but we've never been in a hurry and we try to do well and give souvenir to the patient."

Dr. Jean Devroye discusses how he provides his hair loss patients with the best hair restoration results.

Below is a transcript of the hair transplant video for your reference.

"I could say there are different levels, especially during the hair restoration surgery. After the surgery for example when the patient told me that finally it was good and that it wasn't painful, and that they were surprised by the ambiance of the team. The most important thing however, is the final result. It's a good field for this reason...it's not so difficult for me to imagine the result we can reach. When you have a good diagnostic, it's very possible to have a very nice result. I'm like a sculpturer who wants to break the mold to see exactly the result. Even though I'm pretty sure it'll be good, it's kind of like a surprise. I love to receive my patient in the post-op consultation and I like to show them to my team because it's nice to show them the result. It's very rare to have somebody disappointed about the result. I try to, before the surgery, have a very good pre-op consultation and to know exactly the expectation and go over the limitation and what can be accomplished during the hair transplant procedure."

Below is a transcript of the hair transplant video for your reference.

"I could say quality. We are looking for quality for all the steps of the procedure. Also I could say, year after year, we've modified, not a lot, but some very small details, but important. When you place the grafts, we turn the grafts towards the good orientation and good curve of the hair. It takes time, but it's the last refinement and I don't see what we could do more. But I like the refinement and quality of our results. Everyone likes to do it this way and it's really a pleasure. It's like a new challenge every day and doing our best, getting better and better. When you reach certain levels, it's difficult to do better, but it's good to try and be open to even newer techniques, new kind of punches, etc. Hair restoration is a very exciting field."

Dr. Jean Devroye discusses his medical background and how he became involved in performing today's state of the art surgical hair restoration.

Below is a partial transcript of this hair transplant video

"I like the technique and I like the way that I have to analyze each patient's case. It's not so easy to reach a good result. You have to have good experience and be aware of what you can reach. What you have to do is a good hair transplant consultation and after that, a very good technique and a very good team."

Below is a transcript of the hair transplant video for your reference.

"The technique we use now allows for a very nice hair transplant result. After that, the discretion of the result regarding density has to be discussed with the patient and it has to be done before the surgery. The physician has to be clear enough and show hair transplant photos. Most of the time, it's impossible to come back to the patient's original hair density. Thus, it's important to explain to the patient what the result will look like. But most of the time, the patient is very happy and this is the goal. The main goal of the hair transplant patient is to be happy."

"I could say first to check the internet, read a lot, understand the advantages and difficulties of hair transplants. After that, choose a quality hair restoration surgeon and test him to see if he can answer your questions, having a consultation with him. This is the best way to achieve a good hair transplant surgery."

Dr. Jean Devroye discusses how he provides balding men and women visiting his hair transplant clinic with the best hair loss treatment options for them whether it be non-surgical or surgical solutions.

Below is a transcript of the hair transplant video for your reference.

"I listen, I ask, I analyze and after that, I discuss a lot. I think it's very important to spend a lot of time before the hair transplant surgery and provide the patient with the truth. There are different options, medical options, surgical options and I try to figure out what is better for the patient. This is the way I like to do it. For my patients, this is very important. Sometimes I have a patient coming for hair restoration surgery and they're going back home just with minoxidil. And it's very good for them. I don't want to sell them a hair transplant. This is a good, honest way to do the consultation."

Each year, the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons (ISHRS) honors the most talented and dedicated hair transplant surgeon with the coveted Platinum Follicle Award. The Platinum follicle is awarded to one deserving physician each year for for outstanding achievements in basic science and clinically-related research in hair pathophysiology and anatomy.

Hair transplantation at the level of the vertex is not an easy to manage technique. This article, after having revised the notions of anatomy, describes the strategic stakes which are necessary to face.

I do not use one size punch tool. I almost always use two sizes of punch for each of my FUE patients – one for the big grafts and another for the smaller ones. Altogether, I believe this allows me to extract a bigger number of grafts.

Dr. Jean Devroye of Belgium is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians and recommended on the Hair Transplant Network. He has studied follicular hair transplantation with the leaders in the USA and now provides ultra refined follicular unit hair transplantation in Europe.

In an attempt to improve the quality of results patients can achieve with follicular unit extraction (FUE), Dr. Devroye designed and has been using for 6 months a unique powered instrument (prototype) for FUE hair replacement procedures. This prototype was designed to improve the speed of the follicular unit extraction procedure while maintaining the same effectiveness as when performed manually by a skilled surgeon. This new powered FUE device works by spinning alternatively with a low angular motion. This allows for fast and effective penetration of the scalp and extraction of the follicle while keeping the risks of damage to the follicles virtually nonexistant. It’s speed is controlled by a foot treadle allowing for better hand control of the device...
